Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 26
व्यास उवाच । इत्युक्ता सा तदा क्षिप्रं तथेत्युक्ता च वै मुने । पूजयित्वा तु पितरं सा जगामोत्तरान्कुरून्
vyāsa uvāca | ityuktā sā tadā kṣipraṃ tathetyuktā ca vai mune | pūjayitvā tu pitaraṃ sā jagāmottarānkurūn
Vyāsa nói: Được dạy như vậy, nàng liền đáp: “Tathāstu,” hỡi bậc hiền triết. Sau khi kính lễ phụ thân, nàng lên đường đến miền Bắc Kuru.
